Santa Monica Youth Resource Team

The Santa Monica Youth Resource Team works with at-risk youth, ages 16-24 to assist with basic needs, housing, mental health, and educational/vocational services. We provide assertive case management and referrals to youth and their families. Primary areas of service include education, economic vitality and stability, and mental health services.

St. Joseph Center leads this collaborative effort, serving as the primary point of contact for clients and coordinating case management.

We also work with adults who require short term therapy to resolve mild mental health symptoms due to life stressors. These clients generally engage in weekly therapy meetings and are largely self-sufficient in other areas of life.
